7. Client commands
These are included for completeness and for use for the admin8 user
(no special client for the admin currently exists). Usually a client will send
these commands automatically. Additionally, it is possible to use telnet to
communicate with dwun. If you do so, you will almost certainly want to enter
``TIMEOUT 0'' at the start of the telnet session. Commands are not case-sensitive.
- HELP
- context sensitive information about commands.
- CONNECT
- tell dwun you wish to have the connection up.
- DISCONNECT
- you no longer need the connection up.
- USER username
- supply username for authentication.
- PASS password
- supply password for authentication.
- QUIT
- close socket connection. It will also DISCONNECT if you're CONNECT'ed.
- TIMEOUT seconds
- change keepalive timeout to this. Can be zero,
meaning no timeout. This option is most useful when using telnet, since you
don't want to have to type ALIVE all the time.
- CLOSE
- de-authenticate. It will also DISCONNECT if you're CONNECT'ed.
